Don’t forget about the celebration this Saturday of our 3 year anniversary! We are super excited to show off some new changes here in the salon and to celebrate 3 years of loving your hair! We’ll have beer and wine plus some hot and cold snacks to enjoy just to say thanks for being such awesome clients. Alex Dow, bartender extraordinaire from Brick & Mortar, will be mixing up a couple of specialty punches for us to serve and we can’t wait to try them!

We will be doing a bunch of raffles with prizes including products, hair styling tools and gift cards. But the MOST fun part of the night (other than us, of course) will be the photo booth. It’s the theme of the night and we’ll have a sequined backdrop and awesome props like a feather boa, cute signs and so much more! It’s going to be so much fun and we can’t wait to see all of you there!

She’s also really excited to be back styling and cutting hair and she specializes in short cuts and styles. If you’re already a client or looking for someone to guide you through your short hairstyle then Taylor is your girl!

]]>Here at Lindsay Griffin we can’t emphasize enough the importance of a consultation with your stylist. Whether you’re a new client or a regular looking to change things up, a consultation is really valuable for making sure you get exactly what you want and what you’re expecting. We want you to feel great about your hair and love the way you look and talking with us about precisely what you want is a huge part of that! The consultation is an opportunity for you to tell your stylist about any bad past hair disasters that you want to avoid and communicate what it is that you’re hoping to achieve on your next visit. Definitely bring in pictures that show the style and color you’re hoping for and will give your stylist a good idea of how to proceed. Our stylists will even do a strand test for color before your appointment so you’ll know exactly what the end result will be! After chatting with your stylist, she’ll be able to make recommendations about different options for cuts and coloring. The consultation is free so give us a call and book with one of our awesome stylists!

]]>Many people who come in to see us at Lindsay Griffin Boston are surprised to learn that several of our stylists don’t wash their hair every day, or even every other day. Some people may be a little appalled at the idea of ditching their daily or bi-daily shampoo, but depending on your hair type, it could be the way to go.

Entering co-washing. C0-washing is an abbreviated way of saying “conditioner washing,” meaning that you are washing only with a conditioner and foregoing the daily shampoo.

So what hair types benefit the most from co-washing? Generally, those with wavy or curly, thick, or dry hair will see the best results from washing with conditioner. Textured hair types tend to be dryer, because oil from the scalp are not able to travel all of the twists and turns of the hair strand like they can on straight or thin hair. However, this doesn’t mean that straight and thin hair types can’t co-wash too. It is simply recommended that they continue to shampoo every other day, or every three days, and co-wash on the days in between. Experts recommend that for those who are thinking of trying co-washing more often than not, add in a clarifying shampoo once weekly to get rid of build up that may occur on the scalp.

A variety of Davines conditioners, including Melu, LOVE Smoothing, Oi, and the Solu clarifying shampoo.

While co-washing can be great for those who want to stop stripping the natural oils from their hair, it is advised that those who have scalp conditions such a dermatitis should continue to use a daily shampoo, as stopping that regimen could make the condition worse.

We’ve put together a list of the conditioners that we carry, by hair type, that will help you get the benefit of co-washing:

Also, the two clarifying shampoos we carry carry here at Lindsay Griffin Boston are the Kevin.Murphy Maxi Wash, and Davines Solu Shampoo, both created as a clarifying wash to get rid of buildup on the scalp and hair.

Feel free to stop by and visit us to find out if co-washing could benefit your hair, and what we recommend for you to use as a conditioner!

This curling iron has not only one barrel size, but FOUR interchangeable barrel options to completely customize your curling iron. The base model with a 1-inch barrel starts at $100, and each additional barrel runs at $30. This tool makes it easy to pick and choose which curling tools you need, and which you don’t, for a pretty reasonable price tag.

These unquie bungee cord-inspired hair ties have been making waves in the professional hair industry recently. They are much more versatile than your standard hair tie, and can better accommodate varying hair thicknesses.

This flat iron, unlike many others on the market, only heats up to 299 degrees. The Coolway spray, paired with the low heat, allows for the low heat to style hair with less damage and better results. It was also awarded the Best of Beauty Breakthrough in 2012 by Allure Magazine, and has been making waves ever since. (But not literally. It’s a flat iron.)

Marsala (Pantone 18-1438) is a deep red hue that is reminiscent of the wine that inspired its name. The experts at PANTONE deem this color as a “natural fit for the kitchen and dining room,” and beauty writers at Allure Magazine call the hue “universally flattering.”

If you don’t know the history of the PANTONE Color of the Year, here’s a brief run down. PANTONE began choosing a color of the year in 2000, and has chosen a new color sequentially each year since. PANTONE’s color of that year then serves as inspiration for a number of color trends and industries: interior design, makeup and beauty, graphic design, fashion, and much more.

Here are a few beauty products in Marsala shades that are flawless for fall, and flattering for all:

Amy is originally from Odessa, Texas and has been a hair stylist for four years. She recently moved to Somerville and is now picking up her career as a hair stylist and colorist with us!

Amy specializes in blondes, and also loves doing balayage, because she believes it brings out the artistic side of hair styling. When she’s not doing hair, Amy loves to workout (she does CrossFit!). She also loves lipstick and her dog, Heidi, who made the trip from Texas with her.

We’re so excited for Amy to be here with us, and we think she’ll fit right in with our team! If you’d like to book an appointment with Amy, please feel free to email us at hello@lindsaygriffin.com, or call us at (617)625-0001! Her hours are listed below.
